H8C Single Shear Beam Load Cell
Alloy steel single shear beam cell with OIML and NTEP approval, 0.5 t to 10 t.
Product Overview
The H8C is the general purpose shear beam cell in this catalogue: alloy steel, adhesive sealed inside, low profile and available from 0.5 t to 10 t in metric or 1 Klb to 20 Klb in imperial. It carries both OIML R60 and NTEP approval, which is why it appears under platform scales, hopper scales and other electronic weighing devices in almost every market we ship to.

Materials And Construction
- Alloy steel body
- Adhesive potted internal sealing
Customisation Options
- Accuracy class selected at order stage from C2 to C4
- Cable length specified per installation
- Metric or imperial capacity marking
Use Guide
- Mount on a machined flat surface with the loading direction as marked on the body
- Fit mechanical stops sized to the 150 percent safe overload figure, not the 300 percent ultimate figure
- Match capacity, output sensitivity and bridge resistance across all cells under one platform
Certification
- OIML R60 C3
- NTEP
How It Compares
| B8D stainless steel shear beam | Same mounting concept, but the B8D uses stainless steel construction for washdown and corrosive areas while the H8C is the economical alloy steel option for general plant. |
|---|---|
| HM9B double shear beam | The HM9B carries 10 t to 50 t per cell for truck and railway scales; the H8C covers the lighter platform and hopper range. |

View specifications →How To Choose Load Cell Capacity And Accuracy Class
Capacity and accuracy class are the two numbers that decide whether a scale can be built and verified. Here is how to derive both before you commit to a design.
Shear Beam S Type And Column Load Cells Compared
Four structures cover nearly every weighing build. Choosing the wrong one creates mounting problems that no amount of calibration will fix.
H8C Single Shear Beam Load Cell Questions
Does the H8C cover both metric and imperial capacities?
Yes. Metric capacities run 0.5 t to 10 t and imperial capacities run 1 Klb to 20 Klb, including a 5 KSE option.
Which accuracy class should I order?
C3 for a 3000 division scale, which publishes n max 3000 and v min Emax/10000. Move to C4 only if your division count genuinely needs n max 4000.
Can this cell be used outdoors?
It is sealed against oil, water and corrosion and suits covered outdoor use. For salt spray or washdown exposure choose the stainless steel B8D instead.
